The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the color management module when validating ICC profile format tags. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into visiting a malicious web site or view a malicious e-mail message containing a specially crafted image file. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. NOTE: According to Microsoft, the vulnerability is already being exploited. SOLUTION: Apply patches.
